John Renbourn 1944-2015
John Renbourn 1944-2015
English guitarist
known for his light-fingered fusion
of classical, folk, blues and jazz
and for his work
with the group the Pentangle
(...)
Mr. Renbourn was both
an antiquarian and an
innovator
— part of a generation
of British and American
guitar virtuosos
who in the 1950s and ’60s
reached deeply into
traditions
but were not bound by them.
As early as the 1960s,
Mr. Renbourn delved
with scholarly dedication
into medieval and Renaissance music;
his “Complete Anthology of Medieval
and
Renaissance Music for Guitar.”
a sheet-music collection of 28 pieces,
was
published in 1995.
He learned British folk songs
and sang them in an amiable tenor,
and he was drawn
to ragtime and the blues,
particularly
the fingerpicking complexity
of
early rural blues.
